Like I said, he's a self important tool.. did anyone else catch how many reviews he did, or the fact that he rented a MINI for the only reason of writing a review? If you read his replies to the comments, it's very apparent that he does not even like the smaller class of cars...Sorry, i'm not going to rent an Esclade and review it for A: no money, and B: because i have no intrest in driving an SUV in the first place...

I can only guess how many times he was beat up in school...

I think more people need to sign up for an eopinions account and vote his review as "not helpful"

I think his problem of not being able to have sex in a MINI stems from his inability to lure women to him.

This guy definitely has issues. Holy crap. He rated the movie "Sweet November" four out of five stars. I haven't seen crap like that on video since "At First Sight".

And he loves Britney. How poetic.

I think it is funny how cocky and condescending people can be when they don't actually have someone who will challenge their opinions. Web forums are "makers of idiots" such as this one.

Note that this review is about a year old. I read this last year while killing time awaiting my car. I was also at the time reading some of the "reviews" on cars.com . It was around about the time I got to "mattjoe" that I decided that trying to get a valid opinion on the Internet about something like a car was pretty much impossible. Face it, the 'net is an un-juried, un-edited forum. The opportunity to call the writer a cretin (and in this case, I agree) does nothing to validate OR devalue the opinion. It's all one mostly-anonymous opinion versus another. Put another way, on the Internet no one knows if you are a cretin...or not.

Yeah, this is the same guy who thinks he has some sort of "uber-status" because some guy from his dorm in College that he never talked to plays for a pro football team.

You guys are thinking about this all wrong.
Let the guy write scathing reviews. Let him turn
away thousands of people who are only superficially
interested in the MINI.

Less MINI's on the road is a good thing, as far as I'm concerned.
I don't want it to become the next Honda/Toyota.

^ Right, we all know that mattjoe is a leading American opinion-maker. Didn't I see him on the Today show the other day? And, I think that Larry King is looking to book him too.

The writer is an idiot because the MINI does not have a BMW engine as he/she says.

I saw another idiot once, and there were sixty thousand British soccer fans chasing him back to France. I know that's off topic but this guy really pisses me off with his MINI review. And he gets paid for this drivel?

So many things in the review are just incorrect and sad. It sounds like someone is overcompensating for a serious case of Cooper envy.

Welcome to the internet folks - where anyone can and WILL write anything they want. I used to read epinions reviews now and then, but unfortunately, I found WAY too many of them like this. He's what you call a self professed 'expert'
wink, wink........

This is from over a year ago! It says July 2, 2002!

The MINI has won several awards since then!

I bet they are eating crow !

I totally agree.
The writer needs to study more before posting such comments.
It's a common knowledge that Mini's engine is not made by BMW and we can find it very easily in any of articles posted or issued already.
Actually I'm not sad, but I feel some kind of malice.

However, the fact says that we love MINI and we enjoy motoring very much.
MINI is MINI. Nothing to compare to any other vehicles.

This reminds me of the guy who reviews some 500 books on Amazon.com and just 'happened' to mention that he was an author, and had his own books for sale on Amazon.com somehow in every one...

And for his pic, i still say "It's a man, baby!"

This guy is a moron, that's all there is to it! :evil:

If comfortable sex is the most important feature in a vehicle, then he better get an SUV! What a dumba$$ :evil:
